Yo, yo, yo, yo, thought, warriors. What is up? Higher Learning is on. It is I, Van Lathen, Jr. It is me, Rachel, and Lindsay. We got Jomey a dinner on here with us. One of the number one Dodger fans in the world because we are the champion. Woo! The Dodgers won the World Series, Jomey. He left out.

You guys are dexing your Dodgers stuff.

Yeah, we wanted to bring on a real Dodgers fan to have the conversation at the top of the show.

The rest of the show will probably be depressing, but we start in joy.

Jomey, the Dodgers have won the World Series.

A quick sports check.

Tell people about the Dodgers Road to the World Series, a quick sports check. Tell people about the Dodgers' road to the World Series and what the whole series was like for you.

I mean, we can just honestly don't have any words.

Like, when the final out was, was, was, was happened.

I fell to my knees.

Like, I really still can't even get the words out. From the beginning of the year, I fell to my knees. Like, I really still can't even get the words out.

From the beginning of the year, I fell to my knees in my house. I love this for you. How can you not be romantic about baseball? You really got to think, at the beginning of the year, everybody's talking about how the Dodgers, they're for sure going to repeat. It's a lock. Look at these guys. Look who they signed in the offseason. and those guys didn't even play for a Tanner Scott terrible.

Kirby Yates was not good.

Black and Corfordo was the worst player in baseball by far. Right. And they were legitimately had stretches of terrible baseball. They lost nine of 11 a couple of times, lost six in a row.

If I could clock rugby, went 0 a 6 against the Brewers in the regular season.

Tough.

I was at a USC game when Yoshid Nobu Yamamoto, who we will talk about later,

had a, what's it called, a complete game no no no a um no hitter no hitter through eight and two thirds and the dodgers lost because the bullpen gave it up let me repeat that he had a no

hitter through eight and two thirds and the dodgers lost. And I'm looking at my brother. I'm like, listen, it was a great run. You know, we'll go outside in the NLDS. But hey, man, we still, we'll always have 2024, right? They enter the postseason as the three seed, which means they got to play the wild card, right? Sweep the Reds, but it's the Reds, you know, for real.

Then they got to go on take out on big, bad Philly, on the road in Philadelphia, the two-seat.

Go get two on the road, get blown out in game three, and then win a miraculous game in game four,

where the pitcher throws the ball
